https://soundcloud.com/esa-blomberg/house-of-the-rising-sun-olavi-lahteinen-arri-trad?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing&si=0d4272547a4d44e78cce5cbef5a893f6"The House of the Rising Sun" is an American traditional folk song. It's earlier version was called "Rising Sun Blues", which was in major key and 3/4 time signature. The song was first collected in Appalachia in the 1930s, but probably has its roots in traditional English folk song. The most successful commercial version, recorded in 1964 by the English rock band The Animals, was in minor key and 12/8 with a bit different lyrics and melody. In our version the lyrics are mostly from the earlier versions, but in minor 12/8 and melody as in Animal's version. Olavi Lähteinen sings and I play the guitars. I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: House Of The Rising Sun Key=Bm , Tempo 90, Length (m:s)=3:11 Style is _MONDOR.STY (Slow Swing Blues w/ Organ) MelodyCustom Synth is Hi-Q 019 01 Organ, Electric, Rock Sforzando RealTracks in use: RealTracks in style: 564:Bass, Electric, Blues Monday Sw 065 RealTracks in style: ~~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealTracks in style: 565:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Blues Monday Sw 065 RealTracks in style: ~~585:Guitar, Resophonic, Rhythm Blues Muddy Sw 120 RealDrums in style:BluesMondaySw8^01-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Sidestick, Ride

Hi Arri!
Good work giving us a deeper dive on this traditional folk song!
Please excuse this diversion, but I was pleasantly surprised when I let Soundcloud play through and heard ‘Hard times come again no more’. I love reggae! This is a wonderful gem!

Thanks Andrew. I'll post that reggae later on. I've published at this moment 65 tracks on SoundCloud and post here most of them about once a week one by one.

Arri, wonderful rendition, and great use of the BIAB tools. I esp liked your sparse guitar "solo" area--no need to embellish any more than that--good decision! Very much enjoyed this!

Interesting background information on the song.
Nice job on the project
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Thanks. Specially for digging my guitar solo parts. I tried to catch the era and feelings of this song. I'm not a great guitar hero, so it feels good to hear my playing worked.

What a wonderful rendition. Olavi nailed it with a perfect touch reminding of its roots. Of course the instruments you add, both with BiaB and especially with what you play. Arri, every one of your posts --your productions-- are in a class all by themselves. After listening to this one I listened to Hard Times Coming. Much enjoyed.
